Hi, so I'm so disheartened I have exercised everyday this week and ate 1200 calories and I gained today :-( Could anyone shine a light on to why?? The last 2 weeks I lost 5 pounds so I don't understand why I gained this week. Could Pmt or water be the problem?

Is the exercise new or increased this week, by chance? I ask because new exercise programs commonly cause the muscles to hold onto a little extra water to help cushion and repair the muscles. Could also be caused by hormones, TOM, sodium, stress, or any number of other reasons.0

Could just be water...
But do you have a food scale?
Are you weighing and measuring everything you eat?? and put in your mouth?
Do you have a cheat meal/day?? if so, you could be wiping out a weeks worth of deficit.0 -
Open up your diary?0

have you taken measurements ?0

You should open up your diary so we can take a look...0

I'm such a fussy eater so I do measure all my food as only certain foods I will eat such as rice which is not always the best so I tend to measure most things.
I don't measure myself which maybe I should i tend to focus constantly on what the scales say feel like I just hit a brick wall all the time :-(.0 -

Measure or weigh? A food scale is going to be much more accurate than measuring cups.
With as little as you're netting, you should be losing. You're definitely eating more than you think.0 -

I weigh my food everything i eat and I log EVER THING due to me having issues with food!! I'm not eating anything other then what I log0 -
Then your measurements are off or something....
Cause at 1200 you should be losing.....unless you are really tiny.
How much weight have you gained?
Also is it TOM for you?0 -
I have a cheat day every Friday usually, but it's never over 7000 calories.i have opened my diary if that's any help :-)
Your cheat day is never over 7,000 calories?!?!? If you come even close to 7,000 calories on a cheat day, you could be wiping out any deficit that you incurred the other days.0 -
7,000 calorie cheat day? Yikes.0

No lol to gain 2 pounds I should have ate 7000 calories!! 3500 calories = 1 pound
On a cheat day I eat around 1800 calories that'd including my net of 1200.
Sorry I seem to have confused people0 -
Maybe she means 1700 calories? I looked at last Friday, and it was 1700.
7,000 would be quite the cheat day! OP, did you really mean 7,000??? If so, there's your problem!0 -
7,000 calorie cheat day? Yikes.
No no lol I have totally confused people 7000 calories = 2 pound lol and that's what I gained!!
But I never ate anything near that last Friday my treat day was 1700!!
Think maybe I should delete my post and try again lol0
